About ATU-USSUN
ATU-USSUN is a product of the synergoies and collaborations between Allameh Tabataba'i University (ATU) and the Silk Road Universities Network (SUN). ATU-USSUN consists in a body of students representing each member university of the SUN to serve as a platform to share knowledge, promote networking, and contribute to global peace and friendships.
In 2018, given the active engagement of ATU, as a founding member, in annual activities of SUN and to assist SUN further in its tasks, ATU and SUN concluded to transfer the Secretariat of United Students of SUN (USSUN) from Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, Seoul, the Republic of Korea to Allameh Tabataba'i University, Tehran, Iran. The main purpose was to increase the agility of SUN activities by decentralizing its activities and engaging active members in routine tasks of the SUN.
As of November 2024 and given the structural changes in the SUN and to harmonise the naming system, the student association located at Allameh Tabataba'i University was renamed to "ATU-USSUN", like the USSUN-HUFS located in the Hankuk University of Foreign Studies.
The major responsibilities of the ATU-USSUN are as follows:
- Inviting students from all SUN member states to engage in activities and represent their universities in organizing the SUN events;
- Planning and organizing annual contests such as the PHOCOS (Photo Contest of SUN), the WRICOS (Writing Contest of SUN), the DECOS (Debate Contest of SUN), and the SRFF (Silk-Road Film Festival).
